Mens Watches

People have been wearing and depending on personal timepieces for some time, but only recently has the industry become so varied. There are so many manufacturers today that it is possible to find mens watches in just about every style and color and with many specialized features. From luxury products to extremely durable sports pieces, it is sometimes easier to find a timepiece that does everything than one that is elegant in its simplicity and craftsmanship. While most luxury items have an appropriately expensive price tag, Roger Dubuis has become known for extremely well priced pieces that blend function and style in an elegant way.

What We Like About Roger Dubuis

Though the company offers many items that are traditionally associated with luxury, such as diamond and gold timepieces, these pieces are intended to be far more than occasional accessories—rather, they are designed to be durable and functional above all else. The many features that we love about Roger Dubuis watches, like attractive displays and traditional style, are actually secondary to craftsmanship. All of this company’s products are made with Swiss or Japanese quartz for accuracy, as well as come with textured dials and bold index markers. The bands feature a double clasp that is almost invisible when closed. Although there is no doubt that these timepieces are built to withstand the test of time, their real popularity comes from the large number of styles available. Roger Dubuis products have been featured in a number of magazines and have won several awards. In addition to more classically elegant styles, with chronographs, or studded with diamonds, there are also more sporty designs with larger displays and more durable bands. A large number of their most popular items have Japanese movements that show the date and time in seconds. No matter what kind of style you are after, it is possible to find an attractive but well crafted piece.

Some Things We Don’t Like about Roger Dubuis

Although these timepieces are elegantly built and affordable, they still do not measure up with Swiss or other reputable manufacturers. It is not just that this company simply has not yet stood the test of time, but also that it does not carry the craftsmanship guarantee that a lot of others do. Also, athletes and true professionals will not be able to use these pieces on an everyday basis, as they are not waterproof and the bands can be fragile. It is also worth noting that though neither collection is extremely large, women’s timepieces are harder to find than a men’s watch.

History of Roger Dubuis

This company was originally founded in France by a Frenchman with a love of luxury. Perhaps the most interesting this about this group’s history is that Carlos Dias, the founder, was a collector and enthusiast rather than jewelry maker. He sought to combine Swiss movements with French design to create elegant but functional devices. Since then, this company has remained true to these goals, and true to its founder’s philosophy of dedication and perfection.
